It was a good movie. Unironically a nerd fan service borrowing heavily from the fallout video game that came out a few years prior. As opposed to marvel who seem to want their trash movies taken seriously which actually makes everything worse.

I enjoyed it, but it's a stand alone movie and nothing more. No one anywhere ever claimed for a sequel.

There isnt a single thing in the story from the movie worth expanding into an 8 or however many episodes series.

Hollywood def thinks so.

The problem with Book of Eli was it was one of the worst examples of "le bleak and le serious everything washed out grayscale" coloring that movies loved for some reason from like 2004-2011. Look at Fury Road for a comparison (which is a direct descendent of The Road Warrior, which inspired the whole aesthetic to begin with). You can make a desolate post-apocalyptic scenario while using actual color and making it interesting

Back when I was in my 20s, I had a Little Mermaid backpack. Wore it everywhere. Why? Because I really like the Little Mermaid, it was a good backpack, and it let me know immediately which guys were insecure idiots.

If I was on public transport and I saw a guy smirking at my backpack, I was never bothered. I knew that if the two of us were dropped in the bush with nothing, I'd most likely be the one walking out alive. I didn't need to prove anything to them, and they'd already proved they weren't worth my time.
